Set in an amazing location, we stayed in room 4 of the summer house with a great view of the grounds. The room itself was big but comfortable, the bed was incredibly comfy, the bathroom was also big, no bath but a wet room with a shower you can stand under for ever.

Hassine and Chai as always (we're regular clients at Donnington) at reception are first class professionals - always helpful and obliging. We loved the new terraced area near Beaus Bar and the grounds in August are superb. We'll be back again soon.

We choose one of the lodges in the walled garden due to it having a kitchen and private outside area to sit. Very roomy and bed excellent. Would have preferred to have a shower not a shower over the bath but to be honest we knew that as we booked. Overal the lodge eas clean, spotless bedding and towels. However the plates and utlery had not been washed properly so i washed those. The oven ould also do with a clean. The gardens were lovely and it was very convenient for highclere castle and newbury town centre. Dont bother with the restaurant its overpriced and not the best menu or great food

Lovely quiet setting. Relaxing and comfortable. Good shower. Decor a bit dated but it is a historic and unique property which is nice. Golf on the site. Hairdresser and spa treatments. Great theatre nearby. Walking trails including up to 15th century Castle ruins.

Noise noise noise
A return visit but a room booked in the main house. The room was large with an outstanding view but was tired, with outdated decor. However both nights we cld not sleep due to the noise in the lobby that travels upstairs via the open atrium. A party event was on, on the second night -which carried on until after 12pm and prevented any sleep. The hotel needs to: provide soft door closures as the toliet door kept banging sending vibrations up thru. Door seals on room doors- ours didn't have a seal and wld only close when locked leaving a gap around. Some sound proofing within the atruim itself and finally inform customers at time of booking an event is on allowing a decision as to whether you wish to stay or not. Unfortunately we were informed that we couldn't change room due to being fully booked and on speaking with reception in the am , informed that young people like to party and have no consideration- not true and it is the hotels responsibility to ensure all guests have a pleasant stay.
